Description

A Celebration of Father Ted is an homage to the 90s sitcom involving music, stand-up, video, slides and audience participation hosted by the comedian/actor who played Father Damo. A huge hit with Edinburgh audiences in 2021, this new updated show has been selling out in theatres all over the UK. There's Lovely Girls and Dancing Priests and you might even win a whistle. 'His act rolls along smoothly and nothing felt forced… great stand-up, excellent storytelling and full of gags' (Chortle.co.uk).

I saw Joe Rooney last year, he is fekkin' brilliant. The nights before I paid far more to see a couple of big-name acts, and Joe Rooney was FAR better.

He is well worth going to see for his Father Ted stuff, but I found the raconteur sections of his show riffing on his life in the hardline Catholic Ireland of his youth utterly hilarious. How to out-Billy Billy Connolly.

Go and see him, go on, go on, go on.
